Karma is working on a revised version of the Revero,
which in turn is an updated Fisker Karma, and these photos show a camouflaged
prototype as spotted by our good reader Michael in Lake Forest, California. The
updated Revero will sport new front and rear ends in a bid to give it that much
needed fresh appeal.
The current Karma Revero was launched in late 2016,
remaining visually almost identical to the Fisker version, as the changes were
limited to new parts and technologies in order to make it more relevant. The
all-electric range was EPA-rated at 37 miles while the combined fuel economy
scored 35MPGe.
The new version is expected to offer a longer
electric range but there isn’t much information on what changes are planned for
the series-hybrid powertrain. The current model uses a turbocharged 260 hp
2.0-liter four-cylinder with twin electric motors for a combined 403 hp.
Back in 2014, Chinese Wanxiang Group bought the
rights to the Fisker Karma and revived it in late 2016 under a then-new company
called Karma. The new Karma Revero is expected to show up in 2019 but whether
it’ll be able to successfully compete with the new electric entries from major
car makers remains to be seen.
